What OS are you using? I will assume win2K. It has to be windows. "COFFEEBREAK" is the name of the datasource not the database file name. to set up a datasource go to control panel. Open administrative tools. Double click "Data Sources(ODBC)" go to system DSN tab. choose add. Pick the microsoft access driver. give it the datasource name COFFEEBREAK. choose create, and give it whatever filename you wish and put it where you like. You are all set.
